Gilbert over 2,000 yards

Post by Mustangsabu »

GG crossed a nice milestone in today's game. 2096 yards in 6 games which is a nose-hair shy of 350 yards a game. Kudos to the man.

That is only his passing yards. He is having a Hades of a season rushing despite so many sacks. By any measure, he is having one of the best QB season for an SMU QB ever.

And he has a will to win that we haven't seen in any SMU player in decades. Gosh I hope it is infectious.

True. It felt so wrong to praise something on here that I stopped short of doing him justice.

And that's also even more impressive when you think about four of the six opponents being very good teams.

Gilbert ran effectively yesterday. In the 1st several games, he had opportunities to keep drives along but instead of tucking and running, he would force throws into coverage. Much improved yesterday...but this was Memphis

He also is a leader in statistics in SACKS...

He's doing very well for what he's been given.

I'm pretty sure all the players play that way... The coaches however do not

"...but this was Memphis." Wait a minute, weren't UH and UCF singing Memphis defensive praises for the last two weeks. 15th rated defense in the NCAA or so. Let's give credit when due...GG shredded them until that interception which he himself called a bonehead decision. Keep it up Garrett.

Gilbert seems to be getting better and better, and I agree with the comments here that he looks like he simply doesn't know how to quit on a play or a game. Man, I'd love to have 2 more years with that guy on the team.
